Currently, the age limit is 30 or above for a mentor, and there's been some complaints about that.
Here's an idea to slightly change that.
Instead of a fixed 30 year old fixed age, mentors can be chosen on these conditions:
- Must be in at least their 7th year in the league
- Must have at least 5 years of experience more than the rookie-contract player you are camping.
So if a player was drafted at age 18, they can start mentoring 18-20 year olds when they are 25.
If a player was drafted at age 20, they can start mentoring 18-22 year olds when they hit age 27.
The +5 to +8 point system still stands.
EDIT:
Also, if this is going through, when you are posting a mentor camp, you need to say how many years of experience the mentor has, and how many mores years of experience he has in relation to the rookie-contract player.

What about altering the mentor by position. Like the Katy bird case I bring up. As an elite vet shooter he should be able to teach a youg guard how to shoot ?
Would only be used in a rare case bc there would be no reason to have like Anthony Davis mentor a SG unless they wanted inside scoring and blocking to go up

Makes sense, not a big deal either way so if it's what's preferred then that's cool

No change. Teams sign old players for mentoring. Nobody in his prime got time for dat shit.

Would this be either 30 years old or new camp, or change it altogether shorty |
